The Metamorphosis
Storyboard-Text
- Gregor's serious wound, from which he suffered for over a month—since no one ventured to remove the apple, it remained in his flesh as a visible reminder—seemed by itself to have reminded the father that, in spite of his present unhappy and hateful appearance,
- Gregor was a member of the family, something one should not treat as an enemy, and that it was,on the contrary, a requirement of family duty to suppress one's aversionand to endure—nothing else, just endure. And if through his wound Gregor had now apparently lost for good his ability to move and for the time being needed many, many minutes to crawl across his room, like anaged invalid
- —so far as creeping up high was concerned, that was unimaginable—nevertheless for this worsening of his condition, in his opinion, he did get completely satisfactory compensation, because everyday towards evening the door to the living room, which he was in the habit of keeping a sharp eye on even one or two hours beforehand, was opened,
- so that he, lying down in the darkness of his room, invisible from the living room, could see the entire family at the illuminated table and listen to their conversation, to a certain extent with their common permission,
- a situation quite different from what had happened before. Of course, it was no longer the animated social interaction of former times,
-
- which Gregor in small hotel rooms had always thought about with a certain longing, when, tired out, he had had to throw himself into the damp bedclothes.
- For the most part what went on now was very quiet...
- After the evening meal, the father fell asleep quickly in his armchair.
- The mother and sister talked guardedly to each other in the stillness.
- Bent far over, the mother sewed fine undergarments for a fashion shop.
- The sister, who had taken on a job as a salesgirl, in the evening studied stenography and French, so as perhaps later to obtain a better position.
- Sometimes the father woke up and, as if he was quite ignorant that he had been asleep, said to the mother...
- How long you have been sewing today?
- The mother and the sister smiled tiredly to each other.
